Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Last night, while I was at my plastic model club, someone jammed a pair of scissors into my driver's side keyhole, breaking it. Two other cars also got hit. One of them had both of his locks ruined.
Now teh wife has locked her keys in the car on the other side of town.
Well, I don't hate you Che, but I absolutely do hat you.

And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliot
Perhaps some cars let you open the door once you've done such? Anyway, get keyless entry
Meh, just don't lock the car to begin with.
Have NEVER locked either of the 2 cars I've owned, and have parked in some 'bad' areas. (can't get much worse than down in the train yard at my dad's work) Most that was ever stolen was a backpack and jacket. I attributed that to the person obviously needed them more than I did, and went about my way with no further thought.
Your results may vary as it's probably a given you're driving a nicer vehicle than I...

Hey, downtown LA didn't want anything to do with my car, unlocked, windows down...I doubt Chicago would be much different.
I'm of the opinion all locking your doors does is give you a nice broken window to go along with the theft, though. Seriously, it doesn't PREVENT anything. The secret is not keeping anything worth stealing in the car.

I can appreciate the sentiment behind this, but... My parents never locked their cars their whole lives, until one of their cars was taken for a joy ride. Who knows if it was used in the commission of a crime. They got it back without too much problem, but afterwards decided to lock their cars in order to remove the occasion of sin.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

This is exactly what locking your car prevents, the opportunistic crime. It's the same reason I bring a lock when I put my stuff in a locker at the gym. It isn't going to stop someone who REALLY wants to get in, but some random wannabe thief isn't going to bother.
Best way to guarantee your car is safe is to hire an immigrant dwarf to hide in the back seat. So anyone who tries to steal the car gets stabbed with a rusty shank.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
That's the second nicest thing you ever said to me.
